check out the band OSI.
OSI Wiki
A huge chunk of the lyrical content found in the music of the band OSI revolves around communication and intelligence.
The singer (Kevin Moore) is a piano prodigy that, after leaving the band Dream Theater, left music so difficult to perform it took a Julliard prodigy to take over. Not to say its the most difficult to perform in the world EVER, but its definately not easy and I'd bet 95% of musicians would greatly struggle at the DT's more difficult music.
Instead of Dream Theater's complexity, the music is usually rather simple. Kevin Moore seems to care more about melody and musical aesthetics than technicality in the musicianship. Ironically; since the drummer of the band IS the drummer from Dream Theater and is a technical wizard as well. The duo seem to find the B side spaced out groove found in some of Dream Theater's earlier cd's, such as Space Dye Vest. The devil is in the details, and when this music gets appreciated in Hi-Fi, preferably an accurate set of headphones, you'll find your self discovering hidden sounds, passages, ideas, themes, and thoughts even after hundreds of listens. I definately recommend it in 224Kbps mp3 or higher. Flac even better. The song GO of the latest cd Free has some of the sharpest and craziest voice freezing and stuttering effects I've ever heard. Every little bit of sound is fine tuned and I equate the experience to that of a spinning and ever changing rubiks cube down a waterslide with killer light effects.
However, it can get technical, but its usually in the production. Some of the music would make a fan of Trent Reznor, and some the devotion of Pink Floyd fans. You'll hear tool, aphex twin, nine inch nails, metallica and so much else.
I highly recommend you find

for a quick download of a sample, which is probably the sickest bassline ever, go to their bass player's (on the first OSI cd) website. seanmalone.net Look for SHUTDOWN by OSI. His other stuff is cool too.
